About Signature Flight Support
Signature Flight Support is the primary FBO at Huntsville International Airport, serving northern Alabama's aerospace and defense corridor. Huntsville is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a dense cluster of defense contractors including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. This concentration of government and military technology work generates consistent private aviation traffic from executives, engineers, and program managers. Signature is investing $11.3 million in a new FBO facility at HSV to meet the growing demand, reflecting Huntsville's rapid economic expansion. The airport has two parallel runways, one at 10,000 feet and another at 12,600 feet with 5,000-foot separation, allowing simultaneous instrument operations and accommodating the largest business jets and even widebody aircraft. The current FBO provides fueling, maintenance, cleaning, baggage handling, concierge services, catering, and executive support. Two hours advance notice is recommended for arrivals to ensure a smooth ground experience. Huntsville has grown significantly in recent years, with the metro population now exceeding 500,000, and the city's technology economy has diversified beyond pure defense into biotech, data analytics, and advanced manufacturing. The airport is about 15 minutes from the research park and the major contractor campuses. For charter passengers visiting Huntsville on aerospace business, Signature HSV provides full-service handling at an airport with infrastructure that rivals much larger cities.
